This 11th annual conference that is focused on community is this year moving to a bigger venue in Saint Louis so that we can expand and give our attendees some elbow room! We have a number of other updates that will be announced in the coming months as well.

But right now, we want to hear from you! We want to hear what talk ideas you have. Without our speakers, there would be no conference. We offer a very comprehensive speakers package, including:

Airfare coverage (up to $400 domestic, $1000 international)

Hotel Room (1 night + 1 per accepted talk)

Free ticket to the conference, including Tutorial Day

Don't hesitate! Our Call for Speakers closes on January 16th, 2016. So you only have a few weeks to get those submissions in. We look forward to hearing from you!

The inconvenience of the release lateness in several time zones is caused by the need to ensure the

It is not just a next major PHP version being released today.
The release being introduced is an outcome of the almost two years development
journey. It is a very special accomplishment of the core team. And, it is a
result of incredible efforts of many active community members.
Indeed, it is not just a final release being brought out today, it is the rise of
a new PHP generation with an enormous potential.

It’s been a long time coming … Back in 2004 php[architect] ran a conference-cruise, and ever
since we’ve heard people asking for us to repeat the event. We figured that 12 years was
long enough of a wait. Therefore we’d like to announce php[cruise] happening in 2016!
This 7 day long conference-cruise will be a unique event for the PHP community.
Completely immersive and giving you, the attendee, a hands-on experience not to be matched!

For the first time, the PHP Tour will take place outside of France: AFUP and the locale branch of Luxembourg will welcome you at the Abbey of Neumünster, a historical venue in the heart of Luxembourg City. English speakers? Come and join us, many talks will be proposed in english.

AFUP, The French PHP usergroup, is glad to announce that the fourth edition of the PHP Tour will be held in Luxembourg City on May 12 & 13, 2015. PHP experts will share their advanced knowledge and experience with developers, decision makers and companies, during keynotes, sessions and workshops.

This year, just around the corner of Amazon and Microsoft offices, the event will be partly focused on the theme "PHP & the Cloud": tools, continuous integration, security, costs... But of course, a lot of talks will be about PHP itself, innovation and improvement. Julien Pauli, Thibaut Lenclos, Wim Godden, Oswald de Riemaecker and François Zaninotto are the first speakers confirmed for the event. Who will join this dream team? Stay tuned to discover the program in the next few days.
Presentation length is 45 minutes which includes question time. 3 hours workshops with limited audience are planned on Wednesday.

Still not convinced? This year, we celebrate PHP's 20th birthday, and AFUP's 15th birthday: book your ticket right now, and come to party with us! You’ve got your ticket ? Please book your hotel room as soon as possible : there are not so many hotels in Luxembourg-City, and May is a busy period in town.

The Italian PHP user group GrUSP is pleased to announce the 12th edition of the Italian phpDay (http://www.phpday.it/) conference, taking place on May 15th and 16th, 2015 in Verona.

phpDay is the first historic Italian conference dedicated solely to PHP development, technologies and management. It is aimed to IT managers, developers and innovators. Each year it renews the opportunity to link to new business partners.

The Bulgaria PHP Conference is an event organized by the local PHP user group: @bgphp. This is going to be our first conference but nonetheless we have attracted a number of prominent international and local speakers (http://www.bgphp.org/confirmed-speakers/). We expect 450 attendees from Bulgaria, the Balkans region, Europe, and other parts of the world. We welcome a diverse crowd of PHP developers who want to learn new things and share their passion for code.

Bulgaria is one of the fastest growing IT regions. A lot of international companies outsource their IT departments in the country. The PHP community is large and actively travels abroad to attend international summits of all kinds. The official language of the conference is English and all talks and sessions will be in English. Attendees and sponsors will be pleasantly surprised by the affordability of all services in the country. Hotel accommodation, food and even the tickets for the event are quite affordable, given the high quality of service you’ll get in return.

Welcome back to Lone Star PHP for another great year! We're in our fifth year and we're making things better all the time. This year's event will provide all of the great PHP speakers and content you've come to expect from Lone Star PHP. This year we are introducing the Training Day. Training Day will provide a more hands-on experience for all that attend. There'll be plenty of time to spend with the local PHP community too through after-parties and other events.

Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors year after year we're able to present this conference at minimal cost to our attendees, opening up attendance to many who could not normally justify the cost of similar events. We couldn't do it without their support and we hope that this year you'll help us share this experience with the community. With the amazing feedback we receive each year from our attendees and sponsors we continue to improve our event to keep our place as the best php community conference around.
